The Force Behind The Power

(stevie wonder/syreeta wright)

Where has my love gone?
How can i go on?
It seems, dear
Love has gone away
Where is my spirit?
I'm nowhere near it
Oh yes, my love has gone astray

But i'll blame it on the sun
The sun that didn't shine
I'll blame it on the wind and the trees
I'll blame it on the time
That never was enough
I'll blame it on the tide and the sea
But my heart blames it on me

Who poured the love out?
What made this bitter doubt?
Is peace not here for me to see?
Wish i could tell you what i am feeling
But words won't come for me to speak

Oh, i'll blame it on the sun
That didn't fill the sky
I'll blame it on the birds and the trees
I'll blame it on the day
That ended much too soon
I'll blame it on the nights
That could not be
But my heart blames it on me

In the news today
Heavy weather
Oh, i can remember
The skies were so blue
That lucky old moon i promised to you
Now it's gone lately
Something's happening
I don't understand

Oh, how come decembers
Are hotter that june?
And how come the flowers
Don't know when to bloom?
Something's wrong, people
Something's happening
Happening where we live

The rising smoke against an endless sea of cars
As mother nature gets another senseless scar

In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather
In the world today
We're heading for some heavy weather

The rain is falling harder each day
The faces keep changing
But the problem remains
Something's wrong, people
Right before our eyes
We've been hypnotized

The sound of silence
Broken by the sound of war
How can we heal
If we keep opening up the sore?

In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather
In the world today
We're heading for some heavy weather

Will we ever hear the message?
Read the signs?
Stop all this talking now
It's time to save our lives

In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather
In the world today
We're heading for some heavy...

The road ahead keeps leading back again
The train we're on is coming to an end
Let's open up our eyes

In the world today
We're heading for some heavy weather

In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather

In the news today
I guess we're in for heavy weather

Nothing has changed, same as it was
It's time to think about the future
Forget about the past
Once it's all gone, you can't go back
So now it's up to us to find a way
To try and make it last

Until you give your heart completely
Unless you take that chance
Then it can't happen
It's not all in vain
We can make a change
Just you and i

Everythings is left in our hands
We've gotta make a resolution
We need a better plan
Don't go too slow
We must move fast
There has to be a way to make it work
To keep it in our grasp

Until you give your heart completely
Unless you take that chance
Then it can't happen
It's not all in vain
We can make a change
Just you and i

We gotta stay together
Gotta find a ray of hope in stormy weather
Trying to make it better
Till we find a way to make it last forever

Some things remain, others have gone
It's up to us to get solutions
We must come up with one
Can't get it wrong. it must be right
Because we lost too many battles
And we gotta win the fight

Until you give your heart completely
Unless you take that chance
Then it can't happen
It's not all in vain
We can make a change
Just you and i

Everything is the same as it was
It's up to us to try to find a way
To try to make it last

don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope & glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and i

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Somebody is praying
Please let us come home to stay

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and i

When we are out there in the dark
We'll dream about the sun
In the dark we'll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and i

(cydney davis/lloyd tolbert)

We have been together much too long
God has given us a special bond
Let's take it and make it last forever
You have given me so much respect
You put your love for me above all else
Understand, you're my man
Can't wait to show you

What i'll do
When i say i do
I'll do it just for you
You're gonna love it

Think it's time for us to set a date
So much harder for us both to wait, so long
It's getting strong
And i can't hold it
I know this kind of love is heaven sent
And i've got faith that this was always meant to be
You and me
And i can't wait to show you

What i'll do
When i say i do
You know my love is true
You're gonna love it

What i'll do
When i say i do
I'll do it just for you
You're gonna love it

I've got a vision
Of passion's burning fire
I've made a decision
To give you all your desire
I've been thinking 'bout loving you
All night, all day, ain't gonna give you a break
Our honeymoon will last forever
I hope that you're in shape
For what i'll do

So what you want me to do?
I know this kind of love is heaven sent
I got faith that this was always meant to be
You and me
I can't wait to show you

What i'll do
When i say i do
You know my love is true
You're gonna love it

What i'll do
When i say i do
I'll do it just for you
You're gonna love it

What i'll do
When i say i do
You know my love is true
You're gonna love it

What i'll do
When i say i do
I'll do it just for you
You're gonna love it

Since the beginning of all life's beginnings
Right at the very dawning of the sun
Any and everyone had cause and reason
For in good all good is done

Now down in every heart there are two forces
One is for the wrong, one's for the right
But never do you have to fear with this as armor
For good always wins the fight

What's that force behind the power that wakes you each day
What's that force behind the power that chases eavil away
What's that force behind the power that puts a smile on your face
It is love, pure love, it is love

In every book of truth it has been written
That we are measured by the things we do
If for the good of all is what you like doing
Then all that good will come to you

That doesn't mean you have to be a rich man
You could be a person living on the street
But if you give but only words to lift someone higher
Then a heart of gold is what you will be

What's that force behind the power that wakes you each day
What's that force behind the power that chases eavil away
What's that force behind the power that puts a smile on your face
It is love, pure love, it is love

What's that force behind the power that makes you willing to share
What's that force behind the power that for a lost soul you're there
What's that force behind the power that's not to busy to care
It is love, pure love, it is love

Not trying to preach about it, but no one can do without it

What's that force behind the power that will lend a hand
What's that force behind the power when others can't yes you can
What's that force behind the power it's greater than any man
It is love, god's love, it is love

What's that force behind the power that tears walls down of hate
What's that force behind the power that is never too late
What's that force behind the power that forever will wait
It is love, god's love, it is love
